Light and electricity are forms of which form energy?
light and electricity are forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Which of these is constant for ALL types of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum?
Answer = Velocity Velocity is the speed of light and, the speed of light, is a constant among Electromagnetic Radiation in the vacuum of space.
Do radio waves and light waves travel at the same speed?
Yes. They're both forms of the same thing, called "electromagnetic radiation". Other forms you may have heard of include heat, microwave, ultraviolet, and X-rays. All the same thing, and travel at the same speed.
what vcan travel with or without a medium?
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through a vacuum, or a space with no air, meaning it does not require a medium to travel through. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, microwaves, and x-rays, can also travel through a vacuum. Sound, on the other hand, is a form of mechanical wave which requires a medium to travel. This medium can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and is the way sound travels from one place to another. For example, when someone speaks, the sound waves travel through the air and reach our ears. In summary, light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can travel with or without a medium, while sound requires a medium to travel.
Does laser belongs to group of radiation?
Technically, yes. A laser is a concentrated beam of monochromatic (usually) light. Given that light itself is considered to be part of the electromagnetic spectrum and that that spectrum is referred to as electromagnetic radiation (as it doesn't need a medium to travel through) then one could deduce that a laser beam is radiation. In addition, gamma radiation also forms part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Can X-rays travel faster then yellow light in a vacuum?
No. All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light.
Do other forms of radiation from the electromagnetic spectrum also travel at the speed of light?
Yes, all travel at the speed of light.
Do infrared waves travel more quickly visible light?
No. All colors of light, and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation, all travel with the same speed.
Do visible light and x-rays travel through different medians?
Visible light and x-rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, and do not require a medium to travel through.
Does artificial light travel as fast as natural light?
The radiation that a laser emits ... whether it's visible light, infrared, or microwave, has all the same physical characteristics as electromagnetic radiation from other sources has, including speed.
What type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?
It is electromagnetic radiation that needs no medium to travel in. Gamma rays, light and radio waves, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, can travel through the vacuum of space very well. In fact, they prefer it.
What travels more quickly visible light or microwaves?
They are both forms of electromagnetic radiation and, in a vacuum, would travel at the same speed.
Light and electricity are forms of which form energy?
light and electricity are forms of electromagnetic radiation.
What radioactive particle that can travel almost at the speed of light?
Since Nuclear radiation is simply electromagnetic waves and all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light all nuclear radiation travels at the speed of light. But the frequency will vary.
What does radiation have to do with the speed of light?
All forms of electromagnetic radiation move from place to place at the speed of light.
Which one travels faster radar or light?
Radio waves and light are forms of electromagnetic radiation and travel at the same speed: in vacuum approx 300,000,000 metres per second.
Which of these is constant for ALL types of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum?
Answer = Velocity Velocity is the speed of light and, the speed of light, is a constant among Electromagnetic Radiation in the vacuum of space.
